Is there any usage-limiation rule about a clever reivew that could be viably applied to any number of movies? When I was touting my "Licorice Shtick" as the perfect review, a criticism was made that, besides being about a clarinetist, it could also apply to a corny movie aobut licorice or some other topic involving sweets. Couldn't the same be said about the hallowed review "Icy Dead People." While certainly valid for the "Titanic," I'm sure this review would aptly describe several other films dealing with people who freeze to death. One would be the movie "Alive." An obvious multi-use of the same review would be for remakes of a film. Any thoughts?

Please don't delete them I've already lost Bronze Deity; this would drop me back to Oracle. 
That would, indeed, be a loss, I just looked at them and cracked up. So concise, yet so appropriate for that unfortunate series of films. |

P.S. There are masses more still pending. 
I had it for one day, I think, and then BOOM, you started getting bunches of more films added.
I've got reviews pending for all those you've added so far and I'll do my best to make up ones for those that come in the future.
(You do make me work hard, don't you?! [smilie phrase])

So, this cannot be done if the reviews are on only 1 page for a film?
Sure it can. Sort the page by chronological order, then count how many reviews up until yours, then put that number in place of 100 for "rows", then click on the next page and if there are any reviews besides yours, then change that number of rows again to 1 and you'll have the URL for just your review.

Thanks, it works.

I'll just add that I don't think its just a matter of whether the review could be applied to other films, but whether it would have the same meaning.
Here is an example - and, as luck would have it, you can vote for it if you want to. And, knock me down with a feather, its one of mine too. 
It might be generic for a Western, but...
Whipper,
How do you single out your review onto one page?
It really is very simple. Go to the movie and find the page with the review you want. Sort it by reviewer name (for you, it would be best to do that sort twice so that the first ones up are at the beginning of the alphabet). Count how many reviews are before that one on the page. Up at the top in the URL you'll see 'Sort=100' change the 100 to the number of reviews before yours, then go to the next page. Then change that Sort number again from whatever it was to the number 1 and you'll have the URL for just your review.
Here's your 8 Mile review, for instance.
(Of course, I'm sure Whip will show you an easier way than this, but that's how I do it.)

If you order things by real chronological, rather than anti-chronological as comes up first, it only stops working if an older review gets deleted, which is much less common than other changes to the reviews for a film.
Sal scores top marks here.
And Sal, I know an ape is not properly speaking a monkey, but cut a little slack, eh?
