Thanks Masako-sensei.

I try not to use Google translate, because I know it's often wrong. 

Ardanaz-san,

First of all, do NOT trust google translation;;  It's handy but not reliable.  Yes, "えいがをみたいです" means "I want to watch a movie."  ほしい is used when you want some object.  For example, "わたしは、いぬがほしいです。" (I want a dog.), "わたしはおかねがほしい。" (I want money.)  So, when you want to describe your desire with some action (which means you need a verb), you use a verb＋たい form.  Hope this helps!

I'm still kind of confused. Does えいがをみたいです mean "I want to watch a movie"? According to google translate it means "I want a movie". Why not use ほしい? Is  ほしい not neccesary when verb stem + たい is used?

plebaap-san! We should have you as a proofreader! You're right! None of us noticed the mistake. Thank you so much, and I will fix it soon!

In the second table it says "Past Affirmative" where it should be "Past Negative". Otherwise big thumbs up for the amazing lesson!

Alethianさん You see kanji which were already taught in the past lessons. If you have a trouble with the kanji, I would recommend you to review the kanji lessons. Or, you could look them up in our kanji dictionary. がんばって！
