What looks and sounds like typical '70s drive-in fodder, comes off as...'70s drive-in fodder with a twist. One of the most unique films of its sort, "Massacre at Central High" could actually fall into the drama/mystery/revenge categories of film. While there are "massacres" per se, there really isn't any gore or extreme bloodshed. A new student to Central High, a high school with seemingly no adults, no rules, and no supervision, realizes that everyone is under a strict eye from a group of bullies bent on making things run their way, and their way only. Crippled as a result of rebelling against the system, he vows to exact revenge on his tormentors, which only turns more tables. Soon, everything at Central High is out of control. Featuring a fairly novice cast (aside from Robert Carradine and Andrew Stevens), the film may be good for a few laughs nowadays, but overall is a fairly decent, low-budget thriller.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Armenian Genocide (1653 words)
The Armenian Genocide was centrally planned and administered by the Turkish government against the entire Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire.
The Young Turk conspirators, other leading figures of the wartime Ottoman government, members of the CUP Central Committee, and many provincial administrators responsible for atrocities against the Armenians were indicted for their crimes at the end of the war.
The massacres, expulsions, and further mistreatment of the Armenians between 1920 and 1923 were carried by the Turkish Nationalists, who represented a new political movement opposed to the Young Turks, but who shared a common ideology of ethnic exclusivity.
Columbine High School massacre - definition of Columbine High School massacre in Encyclopedia (4399 words)
Some analysts argued that part of the killers' problem may have been a result of their constant exposure to violent imagery in such video games, as well as music, and movies, theorizing that their obsession with these forms of media may have led them to have trouble telling the difference between reality and fantasy.
The massacre was one of the subjects of the controversial 2002 Michael Moore documentary film Bowling for Columbine, about the culture of violence in the US.
Even before the massacre began, the two perpetrators committed numerous felony violations of state and federal law, including the National Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act of 1968.
