Onmyoji/recent japanese cinema

Apologies if some of these are a little older, but I've found Hideo Nakata's Chaos, Shinya Tsukamoto's A Snake of June, Takashi Ishii's Freezer and the already-mentioned Suicide Club to be worth watching.

Will someone please explain to me why such a clich?d, uninspiring movie
like Onmyoji did so well in Japan? After all the hype and good things I
had heard about it, I was sorely disappointed that I spent 2 hours of my
life on it. I'm usually not one to complain, but it seems that everytime
I take the time to investigate recent Japanese cinmema, I am left
nothing but disappointment and bewilderment. Will someone please point
me to something worthwhile? I know it's out there, I'm just at a loss to
find it... What's been seriously good and worth watching in the past 2
or 3 years?
