I haven't seen Steven Spielberg's remake of "West Side Story," but it is the subject of my favorite movie hot take of the year. "A rich and famous artist spends $100 million to revive a corpse with the blood of young people," Richard Brody wrote in his online review for The New Yorker. "The creature is still alive, but barely, and the infusion leaves it deader than when it started."

I'm not surprised that Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog" won The Southeastern Film Critics Association's poll for the best movie of 2021. I am a little surprised that it is such a big winner the final polling results haven't been released yet but SEFCA president Matt Goldberg, who writes for Collider.com, says the film had a "commanding lead" in the balloting.
