Things to do this Friday

Rockaway Civic's Beach Flix: Despicable Me
Free outdoor movie screenings are a welcome New York City tradition. This summer's offerings include flicks from almost every genre—including blockbusters, indie films and cult classics. On Friday, bring the family to Beach 121st Street in the Rockaways for a showing of Despicable Me.
Llyn Foulkes
The long-overdue retrospective of West Coast painter and musician Llyn Foulkes, at the New Museum, provides more than 100 works from his long and productive career, ranging from cool western landscapes to emotional, sometimes confrontational portraits. The show also includes his recent narrative tableaux, which blend painting with found materials, creating a remarkable illusion of depth.
