Synopsis: "An all-star cast shines in this indie comedy about a typical night in 10 bars across Los Angeles, where former cop Francine becomes entangled with a group of oddballs, including a murderous dentist, an ambitious club hostess and a regretful father."

Edit summary: Heavily trimmed to focus on Carla Gugino's story and get rid of some of the other side plots that had worse acting or terrible dialogue. More of a short film now.

Ver9: Remastered

Synopsis: "A woman joins an organized crime ring and infiltrates the police as an undercover agent in order to find out the truth about her father's death."

Edit summary: The first six episodes are a slow burn that's decent so those are left intact. But episode eight had a completely different tone from the rest of the season so I trimmed that down and combined it with episode seven to make a more cohesive finale.

Ver3: Remastered

Synopsis: "An orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world."

Edit summary: This edit heavily slims down the eight-film series into a trilogy, although due to the flow of the narrative the first and third films feel a bit flat in the first hour. I also tried to remove as much of the bad writing as possible but there still are some hand-waving Deus Ex Machina bits by the author that an edit can't really fix.

The main goal was to fix the rather poor ending films and focus more on it being a fun magical-school adventure rather than a story fixated on a particular special boy. So I cut everything related to the details of the parents murder, mothers love, and any special abilities resulting from that aside from his scar warning him of impending danger. I also removed all mentions of mudblood or any other racial implications to keep the mood a bit lighter.

This heavily alters the timeline in places, so don't expect a story that's true to the books. I also toned down the teen angst of the later films, removing most of the romance, school dances, etc.

Synopsis: "Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives"

Edit summary: Removed most of the scenes spent out of the office that interrupted the pace and tone of the work segments. This also made the tone more suspenseful and less depressing overall, the "real life" segments have a tendency to be a bit morose. Also streamlined the office to keep the focus on Mark and Helly, and reduce the presence of Irving and many of the management staff characters. The new plot arc requires a lot less suspension of disbelief since many of the "mysterious" crazy side plots are removed in favor of a mysterious tone rather than manufactured mysteries.

Ver9: Re-add 20 seconds of cut footage to improve the finale and retrim the ending a bit.

Synopsis: "An all-star lineup of superheroes -- including Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and Captain America -- team up to save the world from certain doom. Working under the authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., can our heroes keep the planet at peace?"

Edit summary: Combines all of the Marvel superhero movies relevant to the Avengers series together with them, while carefully cutting any bad acting, scripts, or irrelevant time wasting side-plots that don't add to the character development.

Synopsis: "Using a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way."

Edit summary: This heavily culls the episodes down to the most interesting cases, as well as smoothing out the overarching plot and cast changes. Disposed of the antagonistic cop, billionaire, most of the romance plots, some of the new team recruitment, hostage plot, etc. The ending is also completely different since this edit focuses far less on House's drug addiction.

This brings the series to a svelte 18 hours, and although it's a heavier cut than I normally do at only 14% the length of the original, I think it does a good job at reducing the procedural feel and making it more of a quality and enjoyable rewatch.

Synopsis: "A battle ensues among groups of government spy teams in an underground facility after their boss is assassinated."

Edit summary: Removes the overarching plot and just allows the B-movie comedy violence to speak for itself. A few slow parts have also been trimmed, along with almost all the faces and reactions from the control room that often interrupt unnecessarily.
