The home video calendar is winding down for the year, but there are still a few big titles trickling out, including one of 2010’s most talked about (and entertaining) documentaries: the art-world celebration/exposé Exit Through The Gift Shop. Also out this week, three hit-and miss movies that contain enough strong moments to recommend: the animated supervillain comedy Despicable Me, the Boston crime saga The Town (actually coming out on Friday for some reason), and the absurdist buddy cop flick The Other Guys, which at times is both the funniest and one of the most inventively directed movies of the year.
