Californication
Synopsis: "Bachelor Hank Moody's (David Duchovny) got it made: he's a sexy best-selling author who's irresistible to the ladies. But as a part-time dad juggling his wild L.A. lifestyle with grown-up responsibilities, this say-anything writer's at a loss for words. This smart Showtime comedy also stars Natascha McElhone (as Hank's ex-girlfriend), Madeleine Martin (as Becca, his 13-year-old daughter), Madeline Zima and Evan Handler."

Edit summary: Cut several garbage seasons, stitched together a few episodes to make the removals seamless, and edited a season finale to be the series finale.

The 3rd revision cleans up a lot of the rough edges of the original old edit - especially the Season 2/3/4 transitional episode. Also tones down the overly loud music during certain transitions.
Atlas Shrugged
Synopsis: "Railroad executive Dagny Taggart and steel mogul Henry Rearden form an alliance to fight the increasingly authoritarian government of the United States."

Edit summary: Cut the affair and tweaked the moral to be less heavy-handed. Also made a bunch of minor cuts in an attempt to improve the flow and dialogue, although some of it is still pretty rough.
Palm Springs
Synopsis: "Stuck in a time loop, two wedding guests develop a budding romance while living the same day over and over again."

Edit summary: Trimmed a couple minor gay jokes
Werewolves Within
Synopsis: "A snowstorm traps town residents together inside the local inn, where newly arrived forest ranger Finn and postal worker Cecily must try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind a mysterious creature that has begun terrorizing the community."

Edit summary: Recut season 8 and all the other overly long battles to be shorter but keep the grit and action. Cut the entire High Sparrow storyline along with Tommen, and refocused the entire series into a more cohesive overarching plot.
Noelle
Synopsis: "Kris Kringle's daughter Noelle (Anna Kendrick) is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but her brother Nick (Bill Hader) is struggling while training to become the new Santa. She lightheartedly suggests he should get away for the weekend to clear his head... but then he doesn't return."

Edit summary: Cut the feminism and patriarchy references to make the film jolly rather than preachy.
The Grinch

His main source of aggravation comes during Christmastime when his neighbors in Whoville celebrate the holidays with a bang.

Edit summary: Removed the "realistic" extra plots (Grinch as teased orphan, Cindy Lou's single mother) inserted in this remake, bringing it back in line with the original animation.
Last Christmas
Synopsis: "Nothing seems to go right for young Kate, a frustrated Londoner who works as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop. But things soon take a turn for the better when she meets Tom - a handsome charmer."

When word gets out that he's looking to cash out of the business, it soon triggers an array of plots and schemes - including bribery and blackmail - from shady characters who want to steal his domain."

Edit summary: Remove the constant interruptions from Fletcher narrating the story and let the scenes speak for themselves.

Ver11: Moved the running scene slightly forward for better narrative flow, and trimmed down the number of times Dry Eye taps his phone so it matches the dollar amount being discussed by the characters.

Ver13: Remastered
Virginia Minnesota
Synopsis: "During a fantastical 24-hour road trip, two young women attempt to move past a childhood tragedy that tore them apart."

Ver12: Remastered
Auggie
Synopsis: "After he is forced into an early retirement, a man's relationship with his wife and daughter becomes strained when he falls in love with an augmented reality companion."

Edit summary: Remove the wife's affair and any other scene that doesn't include the main character to make the story more focused and less "balanced".

Desperate to find his whereabouts, officials turn to an experimental neurosurgeon who can transfer memories from one brain to another.
