3. Ladyhawke At Rock and Roll Hotel
She's going to blow up. The dance-pop artist will get big enough to have an Absolut Vodka commercial that plays every time you want to watch "The Daily Show" on Hulu. See her while she's still at this level. And before you're sick of the inevitable commercial. 8 p.m., 21+, $15

4. "True Lies" At AFI Silver Spring
Remember when Arnold was likable, Tom Arnold got multiple laughs in one film and Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't yet an ad-man for digestive yogurt? 6:45 p.m., all ages, $7 to $11.50

5. DC Shorts Showcase 11 At E St Cinema
The short "Detras Del Espejo" is why this showcase made our Top 5. 7 p.m., all ages, $13.50 to $16.50

Literary Death Match
at Jack Morton Auditorium
The host/creator of LDM Todd Zuniga is a genius. He bring together people from the literary world to read their works in front of audience and panel of "experts." The finalists advance and compete in arbitrary games that sort-of relate to the written word. Nerds love it and people that aren't nerds enjoy it. This will be the fourth edition of LDM in D.C. The show tours the world and if there's any justice in entertainment, will one day be a television show.
