In the era of action films like John Wick, the bar for adrenaline-fueled entertainment has been set high, and there exists a fine line in the world of cinematic remakes that one has to draw between regard for the original and fresh perspectives. Doug Liman directs the remake of the classic 1989 film Road House, which premiered in the Headliner category at the 2024 SXSW film festival and unfortunately, this remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal, delivers a lackluster and ultimately unnecessary retread of the 1989 Patrick Swayze film.

We Were Dangerous begins so strongly and so confidently that it promises to take a grim but familiar period movie trope — the victimization of vulnerable young women in an authoritarian, male-dominated, post-war Christian world — and turn it inside out, mining it for deadpan, absurdist comedy instead of political outrage and focusing on the unexpectedly deep and moving friendships that can be made even in the darkest of situations. Frustratingly, it never quite comes together as the wry, subversive coming-of-age movie that it might have been, but the performances are powerful enough in Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu’s debut that its emotional heft is surprisingly indelible.

If your mum loves a classic carrot cake then this will certainly please her! The addition of sticky and sweet steam ginger in syrup is a game changer for keen bakers who often whip up a carrot cake, and the generous recommended amount of grated carrot will ensure your cake stays moist and moreish. Cinnamon is often added to a classic version of this but adding in ginger and carraway seeds, plus orange zest if you fancy, will bring new levels of scent and flavour.The fiery frosting is equally as delicious and might even be the star of the show, but don't be afraid of trying a healthier dollop of sour cream on the side if you're feeling adventurous. Enjoy! Carrot, spice & candied ginger cake Serves 8 - 10 Ingredients 150g plain flour 150g caster sugar 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp fine sea salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 100g walnuts, coarsely chopped 100g stem ginger in syrup, roughly chopped 250g carrots, grated 150ml (generous ½ cup) light olive oil or sunflower oil 3 eggs, beaten For the frosting 250g (9oz) mascarpone 3 tbsp icing sugar, sifted 2–3 tbsp stem ginger syrup Walnuts, to decorate 1.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Road House” is an infectiously stylish piece of slumming. It’s a remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze cheeseball action cult film, and it’s staged with a verve and wit and dynamic grittiness that make the original film look even more rickety than it once did. Doug Liman, the director of the new “Road House,” has always been a gifted maverick, but I still like his earliest films (“Go,” “Swingers”) the best.
