244. SORCERESS (1982)

We've got Movie #2 of Badass Females with Swords Month.   If Barbarian Queen was the Snake Eater III for the month, then 1982's Sorceress is the Snake Eater IV for the month. (If there was an actual SE IV.)   From IMDB: Sword and sorcery story of the cosmic struggle between white magic and black magic.   (A 14-word description for an 83-minute that yearns every one of those 14 words and then some )   Oh, yeah. We know. Ohhhhh, do WE know!   This month just seems to get better with each movie, and we're hoping that trend continues.  

ENJOY!

WHILE IT'S TRUE THE WGA STRIKE IS OVER, AND EVEN IF SAG GETS THEIR'S TOGETHER, WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE STRUGGLING FOR A WHILE. THE OVERWHELMING BURDEN OF PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND A ROOF OVER ONE'S HEAD DOESN'T END THE INSTANT THE DEALS ARE RATIFIED.

IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE PRODUCTIONS GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN. THAT LEADS RIGHT INTO THE INDUSTRY'S USUAL WINTER/HOLIDAY HIATUS. WILL THAT BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR? WHO KNOWS. BUT EVEN IF THEY WORK THROUGH THAT USUAL BREAK, MANY FAMILIES ARE GOING TO NEED ASSISTANCE. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HELP.

IF YOU HAVE A FEW DOLLARS TO SPARE, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY FUND. THE FUND HELPS ALL WORKERS AFFECTED BY THE STRIKE, NOT JUST ACTORS AND WRITERS.
