Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Kirpianuscus its basic virtue - to present the near reality in a new light. complete new light. in more than an exercise of imagination. because it is a parable a frame of every day associations. sure, it could be a good opportunity to remind the war, gamblers, fortune,bookies, exotic gastronomy, conspiracies and tastes. so, a delight.

bob the moo This is a very short film and indeed one of the reasons it appears to have had so many votes and comments on IMDb is that it is known for being the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar. The film is about a man making guacamole, dicing up the ingredients, mixing them and ultimately serving them up with chips. The method of delivery of this is live-action stop-motion animation (for which the correct term is pixilation) and we see other objects being used in the place of the regular food stuffs – so for example a hand grenade instead of an avocado, poker chips instead of potato chips. Additionally when something is "diced" with a knife, it literally becomes a load of dice.As a short stop-motion film it is very cool and I liked a lot the way it takes odd ideas and runs with them. We all have things flash into our minds at times, whether it is the obvious stuff like a banana being held like a gun, and essentially that film takes these silly connections and makes them work – so the starting point is that an avocado reminds the maker of a hand grenade and it goes from there. The animation is impressively smooth which is very hard to do when working with real people as we are here. The transition to dice and smaller dice is also impressively done.In terms of the Oscar nomination I'm not sure why this film was selected when there are so many great stop-motion projects out there, but then in fairness I am not really sure how the Academy narrows the field down to a short list for nomination. I take the nomination of a film like this as recognition not just for this specific project, but rather acknowledgement and highlight of the many great little short films out there that are free of the pressure to return big profits and instead can focus on creativity and seeing what works and what can be done. Fresh Guacamole is such a film – short, creative, fun and technically impressive, I hope it serves as a gateway for viewers to other similar cool stop-motion projects.

Robert Reynolds This short was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead: It will take longer to write a review than it took to watch the short, which is less than two minutes. It's difficult to describe this and truly do it justice, but I'll try.This takes ordinary objects (and some not so ordinary) which bear some resemblance to the common ingredients needed to make guacamole-avocado, tomato, onion, chiles and so on and prepare guacamole.The most fascinating part of this for me is how, during the "preparation" of the "ingredients", an object used to represent a whole "ingredient" would change into another wholly different object once it was "cut" or "chopped".All in all, it's a clever, engaging and well crafted short with excellent use of stop motion animation It's well worth seeking out and is definitely recommended.

Hellmant 'FRESH GUACAMOLE': Three Stars (Out of Five) This 2 minute 2012 animated short film was nominated for a 2013 Academy Award. It was written and directed by PES and is about making guacamole from different objects around the house (that aren't edible), including dice and poker chips to name a few. PES also directed the 2008 critically acclaimed stop-motion short film 'WESTERN SPAGHETTI', about making spaghetti from different objects. Somewhat amusing and colorful but I don't know if it's Oscar worthy. As far as the animation goes I guess possibly so but there's no story here, it's just an animated cooking video with different objects.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yq7kwUUDQ
