The Tattered Cover signing is at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch. 9315 Dorchester Street -- Take C-470 to Broadway, exit south, turn right on Highlands Ranch Parkway, and look for it on the left.

Holiday shopping for movies and books

Here's one great idea for your shopping -- the Borders on Parker Road in Aurora has set up a great display of our movie book, "The Denver Post Guide to the Best Family Films," alongside some of the movies we recommend. You can buy both at the same time, for a great holiday package. Don't forget the book signings coming up at Barnes & Noble, 960 S. Colorado Blvd., on Sunday Dec. 2 at 1:30 p.m., or Borders-Aurora, 6606 S. Parker Road, Thursday Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. or Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch, 9315 Dorchester Street, Highlands Ranch Town Center, on Tues. Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Family Movies and Travel

We just had a terrific family trip to NYC and points east, and one of the many fun elements of walking around New York was remembering all the movies shot at the famous scenes we walked by. Just a few examples, the "Home Alone 2" scenes in Central Park, the ice cream shop in "Serendipity," the bike-riding scene in "Kramer vs. Kramer" on the Mall at Central Park, the computer-generated scenes in "The Day After Tomorrow" . . . and of course "Sleepless in Seattle" at the top of the Empire State. The list goes on and on. It's a nice way to engage your kids in the scenery without going on blah-blah-blah about 300 years of history.
