Synopsis: "When the troublemaking girls of St. Trinian's discover that their headmistress Miss Fritton (Rupert Everett) is related to an infamous pirate, they square off against the evil Pomfrey (David Tennant) and his menacing group of woman haters on a hunt for buried treasure. Colin Firth returns as stuffed-shirt education minister Geoffrey Thwaites. Gemma Arterton and Russell Brand also star in this adaptation of the work of cartoonist Ronald Searle."

Edit summary: This film isn't nearly as good as the original, most of the irreverence and character flavor has been gutted by the politically correct bent of the sequel.

Cut the majority of the cross-dressing role Rupert Everett plays as the headmistress, as well as the blatant "women vs misogynistic cult" scenes - resulting in plot that's more National Treasure/"Fighting The Man" rather than an overt gender war.

Synopsis: "On the way to meet a publisher, aspiring novelist Sam (Josh Radnor) encounters 6-year-old Rasheen (Michael Algieri) alone on the subway. While struggling to decide whether to send him back to foster care, Sam looks after Rasheen and learns a few important life lessons. Meanwhile, Sam's friends deal with various romantic tribulations. Radnor wrote and directed this coming-of-age comedy, which won the Best Drama Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival."

Edit summary: Heavily trimmed into more of a short film that focuses on Sam, Rasheen, and Mississippi, disposing of the other side stories.

Synopsis: "A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory."

Edit summary: Cut the ticket finding to be a bit shorter/cleaner, removed some musical interludes that interrupt the flow, and cut out a few goofy or creepy bits that weren't important.

Synopsis: "Two FBI agents cross paths with Crawford, a Florida cop who's investigating a string of murders that appear to be related."

Edit summary: Cut most of the Bruce Willis scenes and about half of the Megan Fox scenes, focusing more on Emile Hirsch's character and the darker half of the plot.

While the cuts can't make it into a great movie, they do improve the acting and plot quality a bit.

Synopsis: "Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book."

Edit summary: Cut all of the Julia Child (Meryl Streep) scenes except when Julie is watching her on the TV.
