Synopsis: "While on assignment in Oahu, Hawaii, military contractor Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper) reconnects with his old flame Tracy Woodside (Rachel McAdams), now married to an Air Force recruit (John Krasinski). He also spends time with Allison Ng (Emma Stone), a hard-nosed fighter pilot who watches every move that he makes."

Edit summary: Removed all references to Emma Stone's character being part Hawaiian, and the corny silent-talking from John Krasinski. Various other trims to streamline the story and fix dialogue.

Synopsis: "An untested American submarine captain teams up with U.S. Navy Seals to rescue the Russian president, who has been kidnapped by a rogue general."

Synopsis: "The first generation of superheroes has kept the world safe for nearly a century. Now their children must live up to their legacy in an epic drama that spans decades and navigates the dynamics of family, power and loyalty."

Edit summary: The original series cuts between past and present, the past story showing how the parents got their power, and the present showing them interacting with their kids and a younger generation of superheroes. These have completely different vibes, so this edit splits the past and present into two separate episodes with chronological storylines, with small trims for quality, to remove plot holes, and to make some of the younger characters less annoying and bratty.

Synopsis: "Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break."

Edit summary: Cut out most of Cameron Diaz's plot since it's more of a cliche romance, and tightened up Kate Winslet's scenes slightly for more of a friendly drama than a typical romcom.

Synopsis: "Leaving the pain of a high-profile breakup with a famous actress behind him in Los Angeles, disillusioned writer Carter Webb (Adam Brody) heads to the Michigan home of his ailing grandmother (Olympia Dukakis) with plans to nurse her back to health. But he doesn't count on assistance from a family of women (including Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart) living across the street, who help him heal by drawing him into their lovely world."

Edit summary: Trimmed this slice of life story a little to focus more on the positive relationships and the way people support each other, removing a few negative or painful scenes that felt like they interrupted the vibe of the rest of the film.

Synopsis: "The Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo inspires this modern-day drama about a lovely young woman who moves to the Hamptons and charms the pants off her new neighbors -- while plotting their downfall for sins committed against her family."

Edit summary: This slims down the series to make it more about revenge - removing some of the petty squabbles that dominate the middle of the series. It also removes any resurrection of characters - people who die stay dead, and it also rewrites the ending to fit with the original plot. Additionally, a bunch of unnecessary side characters are removed (Patrick, Emily and Jack's mothers, The Initiative people), making the overall plot much more grounded and believable.

Synopsis: "The world's top assassin, Duncan Vizla, aka The Black Kaiser, is settling into retirement when his former employer marks him as a liability to the firm. Against his will, he finds himself back in the game going head-to-head with an army of younger, faster, ruthless killers who will stop at nothing to have him silenced."

Edit summary: Small trims to remove Mr Blut's lotion scenes, and a bit of his corny dialogue
