The West Wing
WARNING - SPOILERS!
Synopsis - Donna
gets sent to Gaza on a 'fact-finding' mission. She meets Colin and naturally
sleeps with him.
Released - Episodes
"Gaza" (aired May 12, 2004) and "Memorial Day" (aired May
19, 2004). He'll be in the season premiere of "The West Wing" this
fall as well.
Character - Colin
Ayres, photojournalist
Accent - Ummm,
well, mostly Irish.
Good guy or bad boy? - Good
guy
Bastard rating -
2 - Nobody likes to have their photo taken when they're upside down and covered
in blood.
Blood & Bullets - It's
Gaza. There are bombs. A little blood is shown.
Costumes - Rumbled.
Nice and comfy looking though. In order of appearance - "Gaza" - 1)
Long sleeved oatmeal colored shirt with sleeves rolled up, white t-shirt,
jeans; 2) Blue long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, olive t-shirt,
khaki pants; 3) Same shirt as #1 with black t-shirt and khaki pants (my
favorite); 4) Covered with some sheets (might be my favorite if we could
actually *see* him; 5) Short-sleeved oatmeal shirt with olive t-shirt and khaki
pants; 6) Same as #1. "Memorial Day," - Blue shirt, khaki pants.
Jacket in second scene.
Pinky Ring?
- Nah.
Hair - Perfect. Jason's
own.
Other cast - Janel
Maloney as Donna, the clueless internet junkie. Well, not entirely clueless.
She does have sex with him. But in my opinion she spent way too much time
working on the wrong laptop. "Let's see . . . should I check my e-mail or
snuggle up with this gorgeous hunk of a guy? Ah heck, I might be missing a
reply from Josh. I'll just log in for a minute." Nitwit.
Squidge factor - A
solid 10. What a charmer. Loved the flirting.
Death - No. Can you believe
it?
Favorites Quotes
- "Here's to an old fashioned girl" * My favorite quote is Josh's
response to Donna, when she asks, "Isn't he charming?" Josh -
"Sure, in a bodice-ripping Heathcliff-on-the-moor,
I'm-too-sexy-for-my-camera sort of way." Brilliant!

- Check YouTube.
The Heroic Legend of Arislan
WARNING - SPOILERS!
Synopsis - Jason
is the voice of Prince Lajendra in "The Heroic Legend of Arislan," a
Japanese anime series. There are six parts to it. Part 1 and 2 are on separate
videos, and parts 3 and 4 are together on one. And there's an additional video
called "The Heroic Legend of Arislan: Age of Heroes" (parts 5 and 6).
Jason's character is in Part 2. * Lajendra is the illegitimate son of King
Karikara II of Shindra. He's vying for power with his older brother, Gardeep.
Lajendra is captured by Arislan's people and he forms an alliance with the
young prince. * I was not expecting to hear Jason with an Indian accent. Oddly
enough, his brother and father didn't seem to have one. Guess it was from his
mother's side (she was a slave in the palace). * Lajendra laughs all the time,
which is annoying as hell, and he seems quite spoiled. He's a beautiful
character though. Long black hair, brown skin and big light blue eyes (huh?).
Released - 1992
(Japanese Release) - 1993 (English Dubbed Version)
Character - Prince
Lajendra
Accent - Indian
Good guy or bad boy? - "I'm
not bad, I'm just drawn this way." Ok, he's mostly good, but a conniving
little bastard.
Bastard rating -5
Blood & Bullets - Some
animated blood. Lots of swords and arrows.
Costumes - Bright
pink tunic, blue pants, white stole over his right shoulder. He also wears a red
kumkum mark signifying valor and that he belongs to a warrior race.
Pinky Ring?
- Don't think so.
Hair - Long black hair
Other cast / favorite characters - Daryoon and Narsus. Oh yeah, pretty anime boys with long
hair.
Squidge factor - Well
. . . ok . . . for an animated character he's pretty hot. But he thinks he's
pretty hot himself, which greatly lowers the squidgieness of *anybody.* A 7?
Death - No.
Favorites Quotes
- "It's a prince's duty to have a good time. Live the good life. Wine,
women, song." * "Oh dear, oh dear. I'm in a proper pickle, aren't
I?" * <Said to his brother, Gardeep - - > "But how come you
weren't named as father's successor? Hmm? I'll tell you why - because you're
wooden-headed, stubborn and thick. And you haven't got my good looks. So I
suggest you just turn on your heels and leave before I mash you to a pulp, you
unsightly thing!"

Passionada
WARNING - SPOILERS!
Synopsis - Lots
of fish. Lots of cards. Some dancing. Lots of kissing. Lots of singing. And
most importantly, lots of Jason. Jason at his most charming. Ever. * I've
thought about this a bit since the initial viewings. Would I like this film at
all if Jason wasn't playing Charlie? Not so sure I would. Jason is what makes
the movie watchable to me. You can't miss this if you're a JI fan though.
Released - 2003
Character - Charlie
Beck, gambler
Accent - English
Good guy or bad boy? - Good
guy (mostly).
Bastard rating -
He's a bit truth-impaired, or candor-challenged, shall we say, but we'll
forgive him just this once. All right, all right, a 5. Or a 6. With my eyes
closed, a 7. Can't stand people who lie.
Blood & Bullets - None.
* Icky dead fish though. Good thing they haven't invented 'Smell-o-vision' yet.
* And check out his suitcase - crocodile (or alligator) embossed. Had to
chuckle over that. Apparently a card shark can take on a crocodile more
effectively than a pirate can.
Costumes - A
nice suit and purple shirt combo. And lovely suit and tie at the end. * Yellow
waders. How anyone can manage to look sexy in waders, I don't know, but he
does. Combined with a black t-shirt and stocking cap. * Nice black leather
jacket. * Bright, loud shirts. They don't rate very high on the
squidge-o-meter. The bright blue one was nice though. Very flattering color.
Cute baseball cap. * And a new weapon in his deadly arsenal of clothing . . . a
white tank top. Quite devastating when paired with unsnapped and partially
unzipped pants when he's alone on his motel bed.
Pinky Ring?
- None.
Hair - Well . . . it's a
wig, since he'd just done "Black Hawk Down." The burning question -
How many wigs did they try on before they chose this one? Answer: Not nearly
enough. I started to notice it less and less as the film went on though. And
even less the more times I watch it.
Other cast - Sofia
Milos (lovely), Emmy Rossum (cute as a button), Lupe Ontiveros, Theresa
Russell, Seymour Cassel and Chris Tardio as Gianni (whoa - cute as a whole
shirt-full of buttons).
Squidge factor - Wow.
Revising my rating already. He's up to a 12. Charlie is funny, as well as
charming. I love funny guys. * Now, I hear you ask . . . "is there
sex?" I know, because that's the first thing I'd ask. This film has one of
the most sensuous scenes in any Jason film. The food scene. Crikey.
Finger-licking good indeed. I hope they put all that food away before . . . ok,
never mind. * Lots (and I mean lots) of *very* sexy kissing. And
nuzzling. Always a good thing. And a shirtless scene in bed (should be required
in every JI film). But you have to use your imagination in this one (as if we
don't already). * And there's one scene on the beach where his neck is
mesmerizing. Geez, I think I'm starting a neck thing now . . . * Whistling with
fingers. Again. Slight-of-hand coin trick. Again. The tongue over the lips
move. Again. Still very cute though.
Death - No.
Favorites Quotes
- "I'm quite good at it actually." * "I'll do anything. If you
just let me be around you." * Phew! Well, I'm off to shave my head and
join a monastery. How could I compete with that?" * Just, you know . . .
quite good with my hands." * "Well, I was hoping we could all go
skinny dipping." * "I like soup." * "Your fish are very . .
. sexy." * "You're scary. You know, I know loan sharks more flexible
than you." * "It's just a job. We are far more than what we do."
DVD - A
most definite 'buy me.' How often can you find a project where Jason has top
billing? Get the DVD, check
out the alternate ending (original ending). It's hideous.*
