Well, it has been an extremely long wait, but HBO is finally bringing us the second season of Julian Fellowes' wonderful and highly entertaining costume drama GILDED AGE which will land October 29th with eight new episodes set again during the Gilded Age in America, a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems and of fortunes made and lost.

Today you can check out the insanely gorgeous and super glitzy costumes in the brand new trailer that has been released today filled with lavish gowns and even more lavish sets, it is splendour all around:

 PUNCH MOVIE TRAILER 

LOVE IS WORTH THE FIGHT

We are celebrating the international day of love St. Valentines today with love movies, and here is another heartwarming romantic story: LGBT love drama PUNCH

Welby Ings directed the movie

has been traveling around the world visiting movie festivals since last summer and is continuing to do so coming from New Zealand director Welby Ings who also wrote the script for the movie starring Tim Roth and crazy gorgeous Jordan Oosterhof.

 

  THE STORY FOLLOWS

Jim (Jordan Oosterhof) a seventeen-year-old boxer in a small town. He's a golden boy, preparing for a fight that will elevate him to an early professional status. All bets are on his climb to success. But his father Stan (Tim Roth) is a

demanding coach and a notorious alcoholic. As Jim begins to rethink why he is fighting, his life tangles with Whetu (Conan Hayes), a razor-tongued, gay Maori boy who spends his days in an old shack with his dog Moimoi where he cobbles together a fragile glamour and dreams of leaving town to become a musician. Away from the rainbow flags and Pride parades, Jim and Whetu must navigate isolation, hypocrisy, the brutality of small-town boxing, and an anonymous queer bashing that no one will talk about. As Jim stumbles towards discovering what it really is to be a gay man, he is forced to understand that strength has little to do with heroism.
