NINTENDO DSi COMPETITION

All this week on the Colm & Jim Jim Breakfast Show we're giving you the chance to win a Nintendo DSi along with either a Super Mario Bros game or Style Boutique, with thanks to Smyths Toy Stores because there's three new colours in the Nintendo DSi range that have just launched.

Each day we've got two Nintendo DSi consoles to give away and what we're doing is giving out clues to well known computer games or computer game characters and you have to guess what they are.

And in case you were playing along today and missed the answers, they were Star Wars (Lego) and Bowser from Super Mario.

AMANDA'S MOVIE MINUTE

This week Amanda and Colm both had the pleasure of attending the Irish Premier of Disney's A Christmas Carol in 3D. Unfortunately, both were left feeling a bit disappointed by the film. Although Amanda said the movie looked amazing, the motion capture animation was fantastic and Jim Carrey was marvelous in the main role of Scrooge,  she felt overall, it's almost too faithful to the original Dickens story in that it lacks real emotion, and good entertainment.

Both Amanda and Colm felt it was a bit boring or dull at times and certainly very dark and scary for younger children. However, the 3D really works, especially in the snowy scenes, and if you're going to go see it, try and catch in 3D if possible.

Here's the official trailer.

NEXT WEEK'S BIG GIVEAWAY

Next week on the show we've got an amazing competition with thanks to Sony Pictures. To celebrate the release of 2012 in cinemas on Friday the 13th, we'll be giving away a prize - 12 cities in 20 days... that's all we're saying for now. Tune in on Monday morning for full details of the prize and how to win

Next Friday, Amanda will be reviewing 2012 on the show, but to keep you going, here's a 5 minute clip from the movie.

WOW-EE BEYONCE

If you tuned into the show this morning, you might have heard some dead air at one stage. Complete silence. The reason for that was because Colm, Jim-Jim and Amanda were glued to a clip on YouTube of Beyonce's spectacular performance at the MTV European Music Awards last night and didn't realise the track playing on air had ended, they were so mesmerised by "Bouncy" herself.

If you've not heard about it or seen the pics in the papers yet, Ms Knowles was wearing a red corset and suspenders and looked AMAZING!!! Which is why there was dead air during the show and we'd all like to apologise for that. Ahem. But in our defence, here's the clip...
