Private Call (2001)

I seem to be seeing a new trend in the sex film industry in the last week or so, a new kind of porn that I dub middlecore. Real sex without the closeups. I've seen it this week with a French channel showing Voyeur Confessions and this film, which features an actress who was in the series.

Flower Edwards, who is a quite an island girl knockout, but a terrible actress, plays the cooly-named Shane Miller. A room mate of hers, who was a prostitute at some private bar, is murdered. The police department won't investigate the matter because they claim the place is clean. So Shane uses her body to get to the bottom of this case. And let me tell you, she does!

The acting isn't very good (we're talking about people who only use acting as a secondary device to their means), but the middlecore "philosophical discussions" are very well done. Flower is great in that category. Certainly, this is a better example than the last film I saw featuring "middlecore". Maybe this will take off in the same way that soft and hard types of these films have.
