Ok, quick and ugly fix, suppose your display is 1024x768, do:

mplayer movie.avi -zoom -x 1024 -y 768 -fs

BUT, that doesn't solve your problem, and if your PC isn't fast enough that's 
not going to help you.

Do:   mplayer -vo help
see if "xv" is included.  If it is, simply play your movies as such:

mplayer movie.avi -vo xv -fs

If not, you need to compile mplayer with xv support.   Look at the output of 
the ./configure script.  If it doesn't pick up xv support, it might give you 
a hint as to what you need for it.

What graphics controller do you have?
