× But after coming to the new city, I couldn't watch movie.
✓ But after coming to the new city, I couldn't watch movies.
The word 'movie' should be plural 'movies' because it refers to movies in general, not a single movie. Using the plural form is appropriate when talking about watching films in general.
× But recently I have been watching easy and light documentary movies using Netflix.
✓ But recently I have been watching easy and light documentary movies on Netflix.
The correct preposition to use with platforms like Netflix is 'on' rather than 'using'. 'On Netflix' indicates the platform where the movies are watched.
× For example, whenever I want to go to the washroom or start cooking, I can easily pause the.
✓ For example, whenever I want to go to the washroom or start cooking, I can easily pause it.
The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'pause the.' It should be 'pause it' to refer to the movie or video being watched. This correction completes the sentence and clarifies the object of the verb 'pause'.
× Yes, watching movies with the different languages from one's mother tongue is very effective, especially for learning.
✓ Yes, watching movies in different languages from one's mother tongue is very effective, especially for learning.

The phrase 'at the same' is incomplete. The correct expression is 'at the same time' to indicate simultaneous improvement of skills.
