I’ve known the story of Terry Fox for most of my life, but the new documentary RUN TERRY RUN made me think about his story differently. As someone who lives with cerebral palsy, I connected with Terry in a way that goes beyond simply being inspired by what he accomplished. Obviously, Terry’s disability and mine are very different, but I understand what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate with you. I also know what it’s like for people to see the disability before they see the person. That’s one of the things I admire most about Terry. He didn’t pretend that losing his leg didn’t affect him. He struggled. He was in pain. Some days were incredibly difficult. His disability was part of his life, but it wasn’t the entirety of who he was. Watching him run also made me think about the way we talk about disabled people. We’re often either underestimated or turned into inspirational stories simply because we exist. Terry’s story feels different to me. What makes him inspiring isn’t just that he was an amputee who ran across Canada. It’s why he ran. He saw other people suffering from cancer and wanted to do something about it. And then he actually did. There’s something incredibly powerful about watching this young guy running down Canadian highways on one leg, day after day, not because he wanted people to tell him how brave he was, but because he wanted people to pay attention to something bigger than himself. The hardest part of this movie is knowing how the story ends. You know Terry isn't going to make it across Canada. You know his cancer is going to return. And eventually you know that this determined, stubborn, funny young man you're watching isn't going to survive. That hit me hard. But I don't think Terry's story is ultimately about losing. He didn't finish the Marathon of Hope himself, but look at what happened because he started it. People kept running. People kept donating. People kept telling his story. More than four decades later, we're still talking about Terry Fox. As a Canadian with a disability, there's something especially meaningful to me about that legacy. Terry showed that having a disability doesn't mean you stop having ambitions, opinions, goals, or something to contribute to the world. You don't need to become nondisabled before your life can matter. That message means a lot to me. This movie reminded me why Terry Fox isn't simply an important Canadian figure to me. He's someone whose story makes me think about disability, determination, and what it means to leave something behind that becomes bigger than yourself. Overall, Terry didn't get to finish his run, but we’ve been running for him ever since. Definitely see RUN TERRY RUN when it hits Canadian theaters October 9th.

Director Zach Cregger now has 3 hits in a row. He started with the unpredictable BARBARIAN, then the wild WEAPONS. He now has RESIDENT EVIL, based on the giant video game franchise. To be clearer, this has an original story within the world of RESIDENT EVIL. I should probably start by saying that I have never played a Resident Evil game. I know some of the basics of the franchise, but I went into this movie with no attachment to the games, their characters, or their lore. I can only judge it as a horror movie, and as a horror movie, I had an absolute blast. Cregger wastes very little time getting things moving. Bryan (Austin Abrams) is a courier of important organs between hospitals. His night starts going horribly wrong. This movie is fast, tense, violent, disgusting, funny, and occasionally completely ridiculous in the best possible way. The story has a mission-based structure, just like a video game. The camera follows behind Bryan, turning when he turns, like the video game. Abrams is a huge part of why it works. He doesn't feel like the typical unstoppable action-horror hero. He's overwhelmed, terrified, and often seems like he's barely keeping himself alive. That made him incredibly easy to root for, especially as the situation around him gets increasingly insane. The horror-comedy balance also really worked for me. The movie can be genuinely creepy and gruesome, but it knows when to let the tension break with something funny. I really loved the unique creature designs. Cregger clearly knows how to build a horror sequence, and there are some fantastic setups and payoffs throughout the movie, including quite a few well-done jump scares. I'm sure there were references and Easter eggs that went completely over my head, but I didn't need to recognize them. The movie gave me enough information to understand the story, characters, and stakes without making me feel like I needed to do homework beforehand. Maybe longtime Resident Evil fans will have a completely different perspective on it. Overall, RESIDENT EVIL is one of the best video game movies out there, and it did what it set out to do. You’ll have fun with your friends seeing this one.
