As a long-time Java programmer who occasionally writes in Python I found this useful. Python Is Not Java warns you what Java idioms do not translate well into Python, and explains how to write more pyhonically.

A blaring alarm roused us, hearts a pounding, from a deep sleep at 2am. As soon as we realized that it must be the fire alarm we hurriedly threw on clothes and headed down the emergency stairs and joined the other guests in the lobby.
Two Fire Department vehicles came and after investigating for a bit they declared the all clear. Apparently it had been a false alarm.

Arrived in New Orleans yesterday for a short vacation before spending Thanksgiving in Texas.
We had a reservation in the International House hotel, but when we arrived we found we had been bumped (“upgraded” in their words) to their nearby sister hotel Loft 523. We are in an ultra-modernistic room with a concrete floor and spartan furniture. Ã like it.
After exploring the French Quarter a bit, we had dinner at 201.

Back in our funky hotel room resting our tired feet after spending the day in the French Quarter. After a lovely brunch we wandered around listening to street musicians and exploring and exploring art galleries.
Despite being November it was quite warm and, of course very humid. During the hottest part of the early afternoon we took refuge in the Ursalines Convent, the oldest extant structure in the Mississippi valley, and took a tour. After a stop for refreshments we did a little more exploring and then took the streetcar back to the hotel.

Yale's Film Analysis site is a great reference for understanding how films are made, along with lots of illustrative stills and some clips.
