New flicks and classic picks with Civic Video Windsor's Last Kangaroo

Hawkesbury's 'Last Kangaroo' of Civic Video Windsor brings us his monthly round-up of the best new movies - and an old personal favourite - out on DVD.

So, what's good to hire? Mr Wu's top picks are 2019 Oscar winner for Best Picture, Green Book, along with Clint Eastwood's The Mule, M. Night Shyamalan's Glass, black comedy action film Cold Pursuit, and drama comedy Instant Family.

Green Book is one of his personal favourites for the month of June.

"It's a beautifully-made and watchable picture and there is a real warmth in Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen's performances," Mr Wu said.

"Based on a true story, Ali and Mortensen are two excellent actors in this amiable, feelgood entertainment."

Mortensen plays Tony Vallelonga, a 1960s nightclub bouncer from New York who got a job as a personal driver and minder to African-American jazz musician Don Shirley (Ali) on a tour through the 1960s deep south.

"In real life Tony [Mortensen] became a show business figure, acting in Goodfellas and The Sopranos; he died in 2013 and his son Nick is this film's producer," said Mr Wu.

Another personal favourite of Mr Wu's this month is On the Basis of Sex - a story about how US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg became 'notorious'.

"The movie focuses on the first sex-discrimination case [Ginsburg] argues in Federal Court in the early 1970s and goes on to demonstrate how she fought the male establishment to win her place as one of the very few women appointees to the bench," Mr Wu said.

Also brand new in store are Captain Marvel, Escape Room, Destroyer, Greta, Hotel Mumbai, King of Thieves, The Sisters Brothers, and Stan & Ollie.

After a classic? Check out A History of Violence, a 2005 drama mystery film starring Mortensen (of Green Book), which Mr Wu rates for the "great performances".

"When a pair of petty criminals attempt to rob his small-town diner, Tom Stall [Mortensen] quickly and easily kills them both."
