Hello Moosa,
I really appreciate your answer on my question! Let me do it first...

Common case! In my personal experience there is no need of changing or removing pages from the sub domain!
Remember Google is picking up your review page because Google is finding it more relevant but what if the most relevant page according to Google link to another page that you want to rank?
I think you should link from your review page to the home page plus get some more good links that should target your home page and wait for the next crawl!
Probably this issue will be resolved!

Your Home Page is http://www.bannerbuzz.com/ while your Reviews are on http://reviews.bannerbuzz.com/review/18/Vinyl-Banners.
The first problem is that your Home Page is on the "www" subdomain while your Review Page is on the "reviews" subdomain. Subdomains are treated as separate websites by Google and so they are basically competing against each other for the same keywords.
I recommend moving your reviews to a sub-directory under the www subdomain so that your Reviews will have the URL like the following: http://www.bannerbuzz.com/reviews/18/Vinyl-Banners/
Your Review page has a lot more Text content than your Home Page. If you want to boost the rankings for your Home Page, make sure to increase its Text content.
Also, since you sell different types of banners, I reckon the Home Page shouldn't be the Landing Page for "vinyl banners". You should use one of your Vinyl Banner Category Pages instead:

Why is my entire page appearing as a video result (and only a video result)?
A page on my site is appearing as a video result. When you click on the link, it takes you to the page. The page does have a video on it, but it seems weird that the entire page would appear as (and only as) a video...

Is the Google results serp broken?
Hi everyone! We've been trying to decipher how many of our pages are indexed by google at the moment. If we do the usual "site:https://www.hobbydb.com" search term, the serp says that we have more than 740,000 pages indexed. However, when I do a deep dive and click through to the last page of results, I can only get to page 54, and then there are no more results. This would mean that I only have 540 pages indexed, not 740,000. We have also done other queries for other sub-sections of our website, and the results also truncate at 50 pages. Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions are appreciated! Best, Alex

Why is google not deindexing pages with the meta noindex tag?
On our website www.keystonepetplace.com we added the meta noindex tag to category pages that were created by the sorting function. Google no longer seems to be adding more of these pages to the index, but the pages that were already added are still in the index when I check via site:keystonepetplace.com Here is an example page: http://www.keystonepetplace.com/dog/dog-food?limit=50 How long should it take for these pages to disappear from the index?

How narrowly geo targeted should your Google Places page be?
Hi Mozers I'm still struggling with my London based client with two locations and one business. Basically she has a location in W1W 'Westminster' and a location in 'WD!' Borehamwood. Has anyone any good resources of input concerning geotargeting. I've done some searching but can't get quite the help I'm seeking. I'd like to make the Pages cover a 5mile radius and be highly specific to their locations. Is this the right way to proceed? Thanks

Sub-Page Ranks for a Main Keyword
A sub page now ranks for my main key word (the file name is exact match to the key word) it completely replaced my index page in rankings. Would 301 redirecting the sub-page to my index page (which is more informative and has a whole lot more links pointing towards it) be a good idea or vice versa? Or would optimizing that page (the sub page) be the best way to go (the sub page doesn't have single inbound link pointing to...). This happened about a week ago. Thanks!
