Welsh American Bookstore Film & TV Section Latest News!
AmeriCymru would like to acknowledge and welcome the contribution of new member Nick Stradling who has agreed to link to reviews of Welsh movies ( or movies with Welsh themes or locations ) from his excellent blog Wales In The Movies
The reviews will be linked from the appropriate film listing page on the Welsh American Bookstore. Examples can be found on the pages below.
Hunky Dory - Its the long hot British summer of 1976 and Viv (Minnie Driver) has left London and her thespian aspirations, to work as a drama teacher in the local high school of her south Wales home town. Determined to fire up her hormonal, apathetic teenage charges, she sets about staging a rock musical based on Shakespeares The Tempest for the schools end of year show.
The Dark - Sean Bean and Maria Bello star in this psychological thriller about a young couple whose daughter vanishes into the ocean. The same evening that their daughter disappears, a seemingly harmless girl who bears a striking resemblance to their missing daughter appears at their farmhouse.
Now is a good time to visit the bookstore with Christmas purchases in mind. AND if you are particularly looking for a movie with a Welsh theme or location then this is the page for you - Film & TV The film and TV section includes box sets of popular Welsh TV shows as well. All items can be purchased from Amazon.com by clicking the 'Buy Now' link on the listing page.
We are confident that Nick's reviews will help you make the right choice and we invite other readers/bloggers to consider posting book or film reviews on the site. We will accept links back to your site or blog in the event that you post a contribution of reasonable length and quality on the site.

Croeso.....look forward to reading future reviews
Wow, diolch yn fawr Ceri. I'll try to add full reviews in the near future to every film in the bookstore.
I review all films from a Welsh perspective as is the reason for my blog to exist. SO , if you're looking for a wee piece of home, hopefully a review can help you choose which film to watch or buy. I'll certainly not give any undeserving stars!
The blog's in its early stage but I hope to get enough interest and hits to produce a more interactive site and currently chasing up a couple of interviews.
