Superheroes (9pm, HBO) - You'll find plenty of comic book heroes on the movie screen this summer, but you won't see any like these. This award-winning documentary is about some everyday folks who dedicate their lives to being "real life superheroes" -- complete with superhero names, costumes, backstories, the whole deal. At first glance, many of these people may seem downright nuts, but as the film goes on, director Michael Barnett shows there's more to this lifestyle than a bunch of nerds running around playing dress-up. There's a lot of heart and soul in this film. It respectfully shows the true dedication of the superheroes, who in many cases are more effective at fighting apathy and helping the downtrodden than fighting actual crime. There are so many compelling characters in Barnett's film, but I promise you will never forget Mr. Xtreme or Master Legend (whose super power appears to be his raging thirst). Or Zimmer, who has the very useful power of being a trained EMT. "Superheroes" screened at San Diego Comic-Con this year. If you have HBO, check it out.
