My Take

Ron Underwood is one of those directors whose name I don't reach for first, but whose films I absolutely know. Tremors is a genuine cult favorite, the rare creature feature that's both genuinely funny and genuinely tense, and City Slickers proved he could carry a big mainstream comedy. From a USC film school start in Glendale to Heart and Souls and Mighty Joe Young, his run shows a versatility I respect. I find it telling that his most beloved work is a low-budget monster movie. Sometimes the films made with the least pretension are the ones that age the best.
