We have friends that love their ROKU, but as flipper says it requires internet.

I love my fire... for reading books... run down to starbucks or McDonalds and use their WIFI to surf the internet and check email... and playing games on the 7 inch screen is way better than playing on my phone.
I know internet is obligatory in this day and age... but we have smart phones and can do just about anything we need off the internet at home with our phones.
I an stubborn and would rather put the $60-$80 a month in the bank than pay for internet.
Besides our current Sony blueray player is starting to flake... the aforementioned Samsung will play DVD/BD/USB and will stream video via WIFI if/when I cave and get internet (all for $75).
As stomachmonkey points out the Kindle/Fire are great devices and can do movies... but not necessarily the best device for that use (I admit to being a A/V snob).
