Review

Ok, let's talk for a minute about Tori Black. Ms. Black, the first ever back-to-back winner of the AVN Awards coveted Female Performer of the Year, clearly wants to act. Sure, it's an adage as old as porn: adult performers who want to be non-adult performers and, in the wake of the adult industry's recent spoof-mania, requiring more and more models to attempt a characterization, it's gonna get a lot more common. Like Jenna Jameson and Sasha Grey before her, Tori's breaking into the kinds of movies where she doesn't have to literally suck cock on-screen... even if she has to produce her way in.

Yup, that's right, not only does totally tasty Tori star in Half Moon, a very talky, but still entertaining, horror flick, but she's also the executive producer. She plays a hooker who breaks her pimp's rules and takes a job in a hotel and finds a dude waiting for her who does not behave like her normal clients. He has her eat dinner with him and then they talk... for a long ass time. Then, finally, they fuck, resulting an a deliciously sweet avalanche of Ms. Black's totally awesome titties gracing the screen as they make fuck in several scorching hot positions (we should probably note that the sex is simulated and vag-free) before she finds a disturbing bag in the bathroom, commandeers a gun and ties him to a chair. But, wait, there's more. But, we're not going to spoil it for you except to say that if you haven't already figured out that this is a werewolf movie, then you need to work on context clues.

But, let's get back to out original discussion: Tori Black, the actor. She sure puts her actor hat on here choosing for her mainstream debut, a movie with so much freaking dialogue that even Kevin Smith would probably be all like "whoa there, slow the eff down brother" or however that fat fuck talks. To be honest, we're not sure how she makes out. One minute, she'll seem to be pulling it off making her down & out hooker with a vague Southern accent and a rough history pretty believable. But, then she'll deliver a line in a certain way that, well, just seems off. We're not sure if that's her fault or her director's but, y'know, whatever. It's when Tori gets dramatic that shit gets intense. When she starts talking about the johns who fuck her till she cries or her life after her mom kicks her off, she gets really dramatic. Like, high school one act play competition dramatic. Sure, compared to most professional actresses, these moments seem kinda shitty, but compated to that senior chick who got all the lead roles and won Best Actress at the Bumblefuck High Short Play Awards competition, she acquits herself amiably. Hell, we might even nominate her for Bumblefuck High's Best Actress of the Year award.

Anyway, we're talking about a horror movie starring a porn actress, so what you really want to know is: are there titties and, if so, how many? The answers are yes, and not a ton but not a terrible haul either. In addition to the very nice boobage of Ms. Black that get so gracefully displayed in the pretty decent sex scene, there are a couple of her random hooker colleagues changing clothes showing off some robust titties and a dead chick in the opening credit sequence offering up a pair so sweet, we wanted to climb through the screen and fuck her dead ass corpse. All in all, Half Moon isn't a bad way to kill some time (and some sperm). We even found ourselves vaguely moved by some parts... although that could be the cough syrup. We hope to see more "acting" from Tori Black. At the very least, she showed some potential.
