Sometimes I also get tied up with the inconsistencies or errors and sometimes I just go with the flow. I do find it amusing that in the autopsy rooms the "private body areas" are always washed out due to too much light no matter what the viewing angle is.
Another videography trick I've seen is panning down a famous actress's body where they switch in a body double (or any other pan substitution). There was a movie some years ago with Andie Dickinson did a shower scene where a body double was used. I had a friend who swore that it was her. When I explained how they did it, he watched the scene again and realized I was right.

well, i'm not surprised you can correct motion blur (technology is amazing), but nonetheless it would be a miracle if they could really get such great results from one frame of a security camera video ! (or a licence plate which goes from a one-pixel blip to a high-def photo with every detail...)
i am generally pretty good at suspending disbelief when i watch a film, otherwise it would get too annoying. and i like escapist entertainment. i actually had almost exactly this conversation with a friend of mine once about shows like NCIS and Cold Case ; he's a photographer and musician and knows a lot about the different programs you can use to manipulate sound and images so we also touched on all the amazing information you can get from recordings of noisy, distorted telephone calls for instance...
anyway my own personal conclusion is, i'll never commit a crime, because i've seen those shows and i know, no matter how perfect i think my crime is, they'll catch me !
so how do they switch out an actress during a pan shot ?
