Ah! THAT explains why my original review "Here's looking at Euclid" was rejected without explanation.
Sorry noncentz -- I never saw that. Hell - why would I be looking at a film called Geometry Part I????
I do hope, though, having been approved, someone will still feel pre-disposed to vote for my own review - equally applicable in this case.

It would not have been refused because the same review was used for a different film. That's legal.
Later on I will open a new thread on this topic, because I don't want to give the entirely wrong impression that there is anything personal or that the problem is your review, but there is a general problem with the repetition of reviews without improving them or applying them to a more apposite film.
For now I just pose this question. If you had seen Noncentz's review beforehand, would you still have written your review?

Probably not, but I would have voted for his. Of course that begs the question that if my original review was not declined because it was the same as noncentz's, then it can only have been declined as too generic. In which case, so should noncentz's review have been so declined. Listen, whatever, it's history.
Shall we all move on? Except, of course, to say I have a not wholly unrelated review gestating in my pending pile. But - should it be accepted - you may look more kindly upon it.

Yeah, you see thats the root of the problem for me. Had you checked you probably wouldn't have written it, so any votes you get you wouldn't have got if you checked so voting for your review is like rewarding you for not checking. 
Life's a bitch. 
You edit, I edit.
I don't think your "Here's looking at Euclid" was necessarily refused as generic. It may have been considered not sufficiently applicable if Euclid was not particularly self-evidently central to the mathematics shown i.e. this film is not really about Euclid, rather than the generic refusal this film is one of so many about Euclid.

Checked properly? I checked ALL the reviews for A Beautiful Mind - which is what I try to do with every review I write, i.e. check through all the existing reviews FOR THAT FILM.
Noncentz's review was not only for a completely different film, but one so obscure I doubt only you and he have ever heard of it let alone seen it. Besides which it's a documentary. On video.
The film I was reviewing was in the movie charts on its release and therefore would be available to most film fans.
Are you suggesting I should have checked every review for every film on the site?
Or are you trying to wind me up? Or do you have some other even more obscure point that I'm just so damn dumb I can't quite get it.
Huh? Which is it, hey?! Hey? You wanna take this outside and duke it up? You Whippersnapper, you. Why, I oughta ...!
