Bee Movie (rated PG; March 11; ages 5-adult): Jerry Seinfeld leads a voice cast as Barry, a bee who wants more out of life than working inside the hive.

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium (rated G; March 4; ages 5-12): This Christmas turkey stars Dustin Hoffman as the Willy Wonka of toy stores.

Grade: D

The Seeker (rated PG; March 18; ages 8-13): The middling fantasy adventure based on Susan Cooper’s “The Dark is Rising” book series centers on 14-year-old Will Stanton (Alexander Ludwig), who learns he is the last of a group of time-traveling warriors dedicated to fighting evil forces. Grade: B-
