Adele is in Dallas on her North American tour, the timing of which happened to fall on the day after Halloween. And that's why the superstar songstress was trick-or-treating in the Dallas area, decked out to the nines in a costume from The Mask.

The singer posted a set of photos to her Instagram of herself dressed as Jim Carrey's The Mask from the 1994 film.

Her costume comprised a baggy suit, broad-brimmed hat, polka-dot tie, and realistic mask. The telltale sign it was Adele? Her "Angelo" tattoo on her right hand.

Adele posted two photos of herself, both in black and white. (Oh, snap.) One shows the full costume; the other is a close-up of her makeup job, on the caliber of a Hollywood makeup artist, with foam padding, the whole works.

The photos had the caption "Halloween 2016 / Dallas, TX," although some reports on Facebook have hinted she was actually in Highland Park.

Adele is in the middle of a two-night stint of performances at American Airlines Center on November 1 and 2. In all, she'll spend more than a week in Texas, with two dates at Austin's Frank Erwin Center on November 4 and 5, and then two more dates at Houston's Toyota Center on November 8 and 9. She's on tour in support of her album, 25, released in November 2015.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie chases nostalgia for shiny but shallow sequel

Yoshi, Mario, and Luigi in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

When The Super Mario Bros. Movie came out in 2023, it had two big things going for it. Audiences had little experience with a fully-animated video game adaptation, and certainly not from a property as revered as Super Mario Bros. And coming from Illumination Entertainment and featuring an all-star cast, the massive budget for the film was on the screen, showing how much effort the filmmakers put into at least the visuals.

Three years later comes the sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, passing over a massive number of Mario games to go straight to 2007’s Super Mario Galaxy, originally put out for Nintendo’s Wii system. This time, the returning Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key), now joined by Yoshi (Donald Glover), are sent on a mission to save Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson) from the evil clutches of Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie), who’s trying to prove his worth to his dad, Bowser (Jack Black).

And that is about as much actual story there is to be found in a film that feels like a slog even at a brief 98 minutes. The filmmakers - directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, co-directors Pierre Leduc and Fabien Polack, and writer Matthew Fogel - have lots of fun inserting references from a bunch of different Mario games, but they pay little attention to giving the characters anything to do that makes sense.

Instead, small groups are shuttled around different points in the galaxy - sometimes using game mechanics, sometimes not - to accomplish minor goals that are forgotten almost as soon as they’re named. Nothing they do rises to the level of exciting or even interesting; everything is merely an excuse to showcase another part of Mario lore for the masses.

It’s impossible to call the filmmaking lazy, as the visuals remain top notch and it’s clear the entire crew put a lot of effort into making every scene as appealing as possible. But the film is certainly cynical, throwing out empty treats like Fox McCloud (Glen Powell) or Bowser Jr.’s magic paintbrush to give Nintendo mega-fans a rush of serotonin without attaching those elements to anything substantial.

I have long railed against using big-name actors in voiceover roles, arguing that few people know or care whose voice they’re hearing in animated films. Somehow, this film makes the idea worse, as the voices of people like Key, Glover and Safdie are changed so that you would never know it’s them, something that’s especially strange for Glover since Yoshi only says one word - “Yoshi.”

Even stranger is that, after making a joke in the first film about Mario not having an Italian accent, Pratt goes in and out of an accent in this film. At least he and Day feel like they’re having fun. Bowser is sidelined for a good amount of this film, giving Black not much to do overall. Taylor-Joy and Larson might as well be anonymous actors for all the impact they make on their roles.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the worst kind of fan service, delivering a shiny product that might make some people feel good in the moment, but something that is forgotten the second they step out of the theater. If Nintendo is to continue adapting their properties, they’d do well to give their fans a film they want to see more than once.
