Best Bets this week

"Cougar Town," Monster truck "Jam," "Love in the Digital Age" and more

A monster truck "Jam"

Saturday-Sunday. Roaring engines, squealing tires, cheering crowds: That sound you hear is the Monster Jam taking over the Pepsi Center for two nights. The United States Hot Rod Association-sanctioned show features massive monster trucks careening through a tricky obstacle course, flying off of jumps and making miraculous landings. Monster truck lovers will find some of their favorites here, including Grave Digger, Monster Mutt and superhero-themed behemoths like Batman and Iron Man. Before Sunday's 1 p.m. show, superfans can attend a "Pit Party" to get up close to the trucks and their drivers. 7:30 p.m. Saturday; 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Pit Party begins at 10:30 a.m. Sunday. Pepsi Center, 1000 Chopper Cir.; 303-405-1100. Tickets are $20-$35 for adults, $10 for kids. Buy tickets at tickethorse.com or call 866-461-6556. Pit Party passes are free through today at Go Chevrolet, 7320 N. Broadway; they're $10 at the Pepsi Center Sunday. monsterjam.com

Oscar shorts galore

Today-Feb. 23. Trying to suss out the tie-breaker categories in your office Oscar pool? Why guess willy-nilly? Once again, Shorts HD has conspired to bring the noms for live-action and amination short subjects to the Chez Artiste. 4150 E. Amherst Ave. Separate admissions: $7.50-$10.50.

"Love in the Digital Age"
