Synopsis: "Centers for Disease Control scientists Alan Farragut and Julia Walker have seen their share of disease outbreaks in their time with the agency.

Synopsis: "Alice goes on a tense globetrotting journey from the desert to the arctic, helping survivors and trying to track and take down the remnants of the Umbrella Corporation high command."
Edit summary: Cleaned up filler material in earlier movies and cut large chunks in the later ones to make a coherent overarching story that doesn't seem ludicrous. The clone aspect was cut along with any other superpowers, taming the series into a more believable action-scifi romp that doesn't go off the rails half way through.
Please note, this edit uses the Extended version of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which is somewhat difficult to find. There's a German and a Japanese Bluray release of the Extended version, with the Japanese being higher quality, but no US release. The other option to obtain it is the US 4k/UHD releases of Apocalypse - as far as I can tell all the 4k box sets (and the individual 4k/UHD Apocalypse release) seem to have both the Theatrical and Extended version on the 4k disc (but it isn't on the secondary 1080p Bluray that comes with 4k releases, unfortunately)
Even though the difference between the Theatrical and Extended version of Apocalypse is only four minutes it makes a substantial difference for several scenes, so remastering with the more easily available Theatrical edition would reduce the quality of the edit.
Ver8: Small but substantial trims, removing graveyard attack, reorganizing and shortening the submarine fight, and removing the hive swim, along with several other minor tweaks to scenes to improve the flow.
Ver12: Remastered. Please note the submarine fight scene in EP2 has a couple music changes between the headlock and uppercut section that sound like a bad edit, but they're actually just the original soundtrack. Several other fight/action sequences also have odd musical changes in the original soundtrack.

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."
