It's certainly possible but Kodi is much better suited for a Media Center. It will get all the artwork and provide a better interface for Movies and TV Shows. You can also launch Attract-Mode from Kodi to make things pretty seemless.

Last night I was playing around with it and got it to work with vlc. When I exit the movie with the hot key is goes black until I push a button on the keyboard then it goes back to a/m. Any ideas.

You can try one of these configuration changes.

Configure-->General-->Window Mode = Full Screen (or maybe something else)
or
Configure-->Emulators--><emulator name>-->Exit Hotkey = <set to what you want>
