Ps: This entry is supposed to be written in informal language.

Once I read an article on the internet that said that movies which come out in January are mostly bad. Yesterday I went to the theater to watch "Megan", a science fiction horror movie that have just come out, and that film is so bad, it totally sucks. I only wasted my time and money watching it.


Uma vez eu li um artigo na internet que dizia que filmes lançados em janeiro são em sua maioria ruins. Ontem eu fui ao cinema assistir a "Megan", filme de ficção científica e terror que acabou de estrear, e esse filme é tão ruim, podre demais. eu só gastei meu tempo e dinheiro assistindo-o.

It's easy to mix up "which" and "that". Even reading this quickly I didn't pick up on the mistake. Here is an explanation that outlines the difference: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/that_vs_which.html

Yesterday I went to the theater to watch "Megan", a science fiction horror movie that haves just come out, and ithat film is so bad, it totally sucks.

We always use "has" for the third person singular.

Also, no need to use "that film" in this context, it's clear what you're talking about.

I onlyWatching it was nothing short of a wasted of my time and money watching it.

The sentence is grammatically correct, but it isn't immediately clear to me what you mean. Reading the sentence in isolation, it could seem neutral - although it wasted your time and money watching the movie, it could be worse. I rewrote it so that it's phrased more clearly.

You did a good job using informal language! You should write another piece about why you don't like the movie, I would be curious to know :)
