Film forensic autopsies aren’t all that popular, and I have to admit, I could do a lot more to make them more readable. It recently occurred to me that plot summaries would be very handy indeed. The films reviewed tend to be mediocre or bad, and it’s often hard to remember the details that we suggest changes for, especially if the reader hasn’t seen the film recently.

So, I’m going to spend a little time writing up plot summaries for some of the films in the archives. I’ll put a plot summary at the head of each autopsy, in a different colour so that if you clearly recall the film, you can just skip it. This will probably take a bit of time, especially when I don’t remember the film all that well myself! But I think it’ll be useful. My autopsies do assume a recent viewing of the film at the moment, and this will allow a greater readership (hopefully) – including people who have’t seen, and/or have no intention of seeing, the film in question. Because sometimes it’s just fun to watch someone pulling something apart.
