   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">

   have you tried to work with the time parameters of query_posts() ?

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Time_Parameters

   for the current month maybe something like (untested):
   

   <?php $today = getdate();
   query_posts('category_name=calendar&posts_per_page=5&year=' . $today["year"] ' . monthnum=' . $today["mon"] ); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
             <?php the_title(); ?>
             </a>  </li>
           <?php endwhile; ?>

   for last month maybe (untested):
   

   <?php $today = getdate();
   $year = $today["year"];
   $last_month = $today["mon"] - 1;
   if( $last_month == 0 ) {
   $last_month = 12;
   $year = $year - 1;
   }
   query_posts('category_name=calendar&posts_per_page=5&year=' . $year . 'monthnum=' . $last_month ); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
             <?php the_title(); ?>
             </a>  </li>
           <?php endwhile; ?>
