How can I use the node title in drupal as a contexual filter

I'm working on a movie website and I have two content types, "Movies" and "Movie reviews". I want to make a view (using the views module) that shows me all of the "Movie Reviews" related to a movie.

I need to grab all the "Movie Reviews" that have the same content in the "Title" cck field as the title of the current "Movie" Node.

i.e. if I am viewing the "Madagascar" Movie node, I need to get all of the Movie Reviews with "Madagascar" in the title.

Can this be done?

You would be better off using an entity reference field.

  1. Install this http://drupal.org/project/entityreference
  2. Add an entity reference field to your review content type that references the movie content type.
  3. Create a new view displaying a list of reviews.
  4. Add a contextual filter selecting the movie field, where it says "WHEN "THE FILTER VALUE IS NOT AVAILABLE" select Provide default value -> Content ID from URL.

If you have created the view with a block place the block so it can be seen on the movie page and it should only display reviews linked to that movie
