On this screen are also projected—needlessly, distractingly—the lines clearly and eloquently read by Tina Benko, the blond American actress who plays Desdemona, recalling her life from the Afterlife, when "I can speak at last." ❋ David Littlejohn (2011)
Lighted, often distractingly, by Mr. Fields, with expansive areas of shaped light that suggest images in Kazimir Malevich paintings crossed with those of Mark Rothko, "Thirteen Diversions" presents an impressive, if congested, array of richly athletic solo, couple and group dancing. ❋ Robert Greskovic (2011)
I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose, whose dreams are balanced between distractingly epic and restively mundane. ❋ Musey_q (2010)
The Vikings' lease at the Metrodome, a distractingly loud multipurpose stadium where the team has played since 1982, expired this year. ❋ Joe Barrett (2012)
The weakest subplot – in which the aristos dashed through the woods looking for a lost dog – seemed distractingly reminiscent of the year's viral online hit, in which the posh bloke pursues the deer-worrying pooch Fenton. ❋ Unknown (2011)
One series brings together photographs from 1970s men's magazines, with their suggestions of framing narrative around the central act of revelation or performance, their distractingly busy decor and so it seems in comparison with the contemporary images unnecessary props and other complexities in the background. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Maybe he only appears to understand the culture of the club, but when questioned in rigorous detail he has a tendency to stall and flounder and talk distractingly about general topics. ❋ Unknown (2011)
I like the guy, but he's got a distractingly large and odd shaped nose. ❋ Unknown (2010)
His surfaces glitter distractingly, like iridescent eye shadow at a lunch meeting -- not horrible, just out of place. ❋ Jessica Dawson (2010)
She ended her speech, delivered distractingly while looking off-camera, by saying "We the people...." ❋ Jonathan Capehart (2011)
CONS: I could nitpick that one character distractingly sounded too much like Arnold Schwarzenegger. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The eldest leans over my shoulder distractingly as I try to work out whether the retractable undercarriage is on backwards. ❋ Unknown (2012)
Did anybody else think that Erin's eye makeup was distractingly uneven? ❋ Unknown (2009)
Everything has a freshly cleaned radiance and ineffable logic; there are no histrionics or theatrical tricks, nothing aggressively or distractingly interactive. ❋ Ada Louise Huxtable (2012)
It's only slightly marred by occasional awkward prose from Campbell, who also has a distractingly tendency to use the word "bronze", especially when describing second-in-command McReady. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Expanded, visually, beyond anything resembling the comparatively claustrophobic 1947 film which starred a wonderfully scrofulous Richard Attenborough, and imbued with a feverish morality that would have gratified Mr. Greene himself, the film is almost distractingly beautiful to look at, something that accentuates the tension between the film's conflicting quantities, i.e., the glories of the physical world, and the corrupted humanity it hosts. ❋ John Anderson (2011)
"Invictus" star Morgan Freeman is a familiar and comforting presence in his film appearances, almost distractingly so at this point in his career (particularly when he's playing more of a villain role, as in "Wanted"). ❋ Unknown (2009)
Bar may not be any better this season, but at least Gosselaar has a better haircut, and that should help — which, if you've never seen the show, gives you an idea of how incredibly, distractingly bad the old haircut was. ❋ Unknown (2009)
