      (Newser) - Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds may be a vanilla production, and the songs its tween icon belts out during this big-screen 3D version of her concert are "fizzy" and "forgettable," writes Jan Stewart of Newsday .

      U2 3D a Virtual Triumph

      (Newser) - Sitting through the IMAX feature U2 3D isn't exactly like being at one of the legendary rock band's shows.
