× Before I came to the UK I almost watch movies almost every day because I had a lot of time to spend on that.
✓ Before I came to the UK I almost watched movies almost every day because I had a lot of time to spend on that.
The sentence refers to a past time frame ('Before I came to the UK'), so the verb 'watch' should be in the past tense 'watched' to maintain tense consistency.
× But after coming to new Home I have never watched the movies because I don't have enough time as there are plenty of homeworks in university.
✓ But after coming to my new home I have never watched movies because I don't have enough time as there is plenty of homework at university.
'New Home' should be 'my new home' to specify possession. 'The movies' is incorrect here; 'movies' without 'the' is appropriate. 'Homeworks' is uncountable and should be 'homework'. Also, 'in university' is better expressed as 'at university'. 'There are plenty of homeworks' is incorrect because 'homework' is uncountable and singular, so 'there is plenty of homework' is correct.
× I usually watch classical movies made in the 1960s or 1970s because I'm very interested in history in the US and that era is called as the golden age of Hollywood movies.
✓ I usually watch classical movies made in the 1960s or 1970s because I'm very interested in history of the US and that era is called the golden age of Hollywood movies.
The phrase 'interested in history in the US' should be 'interested in history of the US' to correctly express the subject of interest. Also, 'called as' is incorrect; it should be 'called' without 'as'.
× For example, I prefer watching a Star Wars 3 because the storylines are quite thrilling.
✓ For example, I prefer watching Star Wars 3 because the storylines are quite thrilling.
The article 'a' before 'Star Wars 3' is unnecessary because 'Star Wars 3' is a proper noun (a movie title) and does not require an article.
× In my childhood, I preferred going to cinemas because I love the restaurants in the cinema complex.
✓ In my childhood, I preferred going to cinemas because I loved the restaurants in the cinema complex.
The sentence refers to past time ('In my childhood'), so 'love' should be in past tense 'loved' to maintain tense consistency.
× For example, pause function is essential for my life.
✓ For example, the pause function is essential for my life.
The noun phrase 'pause function' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific function known to both speaker and listener.
× Yes, I believe that watching movies with different language from one's mother tongue is quite efficient and useful for language learning.
✓ Yes, I believe that watching movies in a different language from one's mother tongue is quite efficient and useful for language learning.
The phrase 'with different language' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in' when referring to the language used in movies. Also, 'a different language' is needed to indicate one among many possible languages.
× In my case, I started watching movies with English subtitles two years ago and I found it's quite efficient for learning recently.
✓ In my case, I started watching movies with English subtitles two years ago and I have found it's quite efficient for learning recently.
The phrase 'I found' should be present perfect 'I have found' because the effect or experience continues up to the present. Also, 'recently' fits better with present perfect tense.
