I love that they upload these! I don’t have a TV so this is awesome!

[teebalicious]

I just saw the trailer for this film the other day, and I’m really excited to watch it. Kerry is just a treasure.

Looking forward to watching that movie 🌻🌻🌻

Kerry Washington is not only absolutely stunning, (the most beautiful black woman in Hollywood today) but she also has an amazingly attractive personality to match! Love her in everything she does!😍

That's right. I used to think Kerry was America's little sister.
Glad she is back in the spotlight.

[KyeyuneBatuma]

My family and I are having a MOVIE NIGHT!! 🍿

Speaking on the topic of the movie, I never served in combat, but I can tell you that being away from your family and the people you love is miserable without mail. Yes, it was almost 40 years ago when I went to basic training.

[lucyaquarius]

Good old fashioned letters. And posted notes. 😉 That takes me back to my happy place. But these days I have to be quick and careful, or my badshit crazy dog tears it apart.

Nothin' wrong with getting older. Wine gets fine, y'know?

[amandadipietro]

The movie was amazing. I resonated even more being a woman veteran

[NTCforeal]

has anyone ever looked at her and thought "scarlet Johansson's dad have some explaining to do"

[bcb]

Always count on black women to get the job done!

[boredlama]

She is really hot! Could turn a MAGA supporter straight! Just kidding, nobody could turn a MAGA supporter to thinking!

[bcb]

Really looking forward to this movie! Tyler Perry has created another great telling!
