Just in time to join lumps of coal in kids’ Christmas stockings, Thunderstruck hits DVD on Dec. 4. The debut movie vehicle for Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant also will be released on Blu-ray, for those cinephiles who wish to best replicate the theatrical experience.

We don’t know if The New York Times Magazine’s Nov. 11 feature on the OKC Thunder was, as The Oklahoman reporter Steve Lackmeyer proclaimed on his blog — presumably with a stuck “caps lock” key — “THE BEST ARTICLE EVER WRITTEN ABOUT OKLAHOMA CITY IN A NATIONAL PUBLICATION.”

Editor’s note: For Thunderstruck, the new-to-home-video family comedy starring the Thunder’s Kevin Durant, it struck us that, since the movie is really aimed at pre-teen and teenaged KD fans, who better to review it than an avowed Thunder fan of that age? Here with his review is guest critic Harrison Lott, a 15-year-old student at Edmond Memorial High School.

Recording artist Keri Hilson, known for her sexiness and power collaborations (Nelly, R. Kelly and Kanye West), appears to be hot ’n’ heavy these days with Serge Ibaka, OKC Thunder’s power forward. A few weeks ago, Hilson celebrated her birthday in Bricktown after the Thunder’s trouncing of the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
