...ALTYNAI ASYLMURATOVA. ''She was an Oriental beauty, and she dreamed of lying in bed being fanned--a modern Scheherazade. And so I bit her.'' That is Kirov Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov's fanciful way of explaining how he put iron willpower into his prize ballerina. Asylmuratova (Ah-sil-mu-rah- tova) has an expansive, luscious quality.

The film's script (by Jamie Linden) makes it clear that a few people never did buy into Lengyel's gung-ho ways, and the director (McG), for the most part keeps the rah-rah spirit in decent check. This is a nicely muted comeback story - definitely not Rocky Balboa in shoulder pads - and it is the better for that restraint. Maybe We Are Marshall is not quite a thinking man's sports tale, but, on the other hand, you don't have...
