Going through Avatar withdrawal? Here are our five upcoming flicks that we anticipate will most likely have you forking over your debit card on a Saturday night at some point this year.

1. Inception

Starring: Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: July 16

The guy who gave us kickasstic Dark Knight is exploring the power of ideas in a mysterious sci-fi adventure that features Leo Dicaprio. Movie insiders are salivating at this Christopher Nolan-directed project more than anything else coming out in 2010 so, expect it to see Inception buzz all over the place leading up to the summer months.

2. Iron Man 2

Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Jon Favreau
Release Date: May 7

Tony Stark is back. If you seen the first one than you had to know the anticipated sequel would easily make our list. Expect bigger everything: baddies, battles and blow-ups. Just hope that something that has expectations to be better than the original doesn’t go the way of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and suck a fat left one.

3. Tron Legacy

Starring: Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Release Date: December 17

In 1982, the electronic world of Tron was on some next level shit. The futuristic thriller came out during the Atari days during the time when video game consoles were barely hitting homes and it wowed audiences. The astonishing-looking concept trailer for this Disney-produced flick again stars Jeff Bridges but this time focuses on his character’s son as the main protagonist.

4. Clash Of The Titans

Starring: Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes
Director: Louis Letterier
Release Date: March 26

The trailer for this alone has me hooked. In this age of beautiful CGI, I’ve always wondered why more movies haven’t utilized the endless pool of Greek Mythology material. This remake of the 1981 film focuses on the Greek myth of Perseus (played by Terminator Salvation and Avatar lead man Sam Worthington), a man-god who battles infamous underworld monsters like Medusa and an angry gigantic squid with the help of Greek gods like the almighty Poseidon and Zeus.

5. The A-Team

Starring: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quentin “Rampage” Jackson
Director: Joe Carnahan
Release: June 11

So Rampage Jackson rolled the dice and quit his day job as a UFC cage fighter to become either a Mr. T knock off or a re-adapted B.A. Barakus but was it worth the gamble? Looking at the trailer all signs point to yes. There’s no telling how good the actual A-Team film will fare as we’ll have to wait until June when the movie is schedule to drop or at least until the reviews come rolling in.
