Synopsis: "Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly."

Edit summary: Heavily trimmed the slow start to the essentials, reduced the nauseating flashing room a bit, trimmed a bunch of sections to help the pacing, and kept but heavily streamlined the cop storyline. The ending is also significantly changed, removing the twist and the open ending for a sequel season to make it a self-contained single-season show.

Ver9: Remastered, significant changes to subtitles as well

Synopsis: "After conditions in her new home become unbearable, a teenage girl runs away and befriends an older man preparing for a hike through the Alaskan wilderness."

Edit summary: Trimmed the start to be less sympathetic to the uncle, as well as giving the story a quicker start. A few other trims to focus the story more on the relationship between Mackenzie and Bart.

Ver7: Remastered

Synopsis: "A British investment broker inherits his uncle's chateau and vineyard in Provence, where he spent much of his childhood. He discovers a new laid-back lifestyle as he tries to renovate the estate to be sold."

Edit summary: Trim a few of the flashbacks and take out other scenes that remove pacing or interrupt the feel-good vibe of the film to shorten and smooth out the experience.

Ver10: Remastered

Synopsis: "Obsessed gamer Arisu suddenly finds himself in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which he and his friends must compete in dangerous games in order to survive."

Edit summary: The first season is left mostly intact, just removing some bad cgi and a lot of unnecessary backstory flashbacks that are supposed to give characters depth or meaning but just end up feeling like a waste of time.

The second season is a much deeper cut, fixing a bunch of poor dialogue and the super heavy-handed plot-hinting, and removing numerous slow sections to match the pace of the first season. It feels like they started trying too hard to be deep and it just doesn't come across as genuine without a heavy edit to strip and trim it. Also significantly changed the ending to remove the fanservice.

Ver6: Remastered

Synopsis: "Black Mirror is three stand alone dramas that tap into the collective unease about our modern world. They are sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales with a techno-paranoia bent. 'The National Anthem' looks at how life is much harder for the rich and powerful now that information is disseminated so quickly; '15 Million Merits' is satire on our insatiable thirst for distraction; 'In Memoriam' is an alternate reality where everyone has access to a system which records everything they do, see or hear."

Edit summary: Selected episodes that are the best sci-fi of this anthology series.

Synopsis: "Upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard, Dream, the personification of dreams, sets about to reclaim his lost equipment."

Edit summary: Most of this show is contrived netflix garbage, but there's a small segment in the middle of the show that has a completely different tone and makes for an interesting short film, so I've cut out that section and combined it with a bit of backstory to round it out. Additionally the image scaling is changed a bit to remove the vertical stretch that the producers put on the image to make it "dreamlike" since it's annoying at best and literally nauseating to some people.

Ver6: Remastered

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: "Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence."

Edit summary: Adjusts the opening to give a truer sense of the show, rather than starting out as a western for most of the first episode. Makes the storylines, especially in the second season, less fragmented. Reduces the emphasis on Dolores and puts her on equal footing with Maeve and other main characters. Removes most of the third season with the GTA plot and uses select scenes with Maeve and Dolores to wrap up the story, changing the ending substantially.
