Sure you can.

Follow these steps: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html

1. Add PPA to your system (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa)
2. Update packages (sudo apt-get update)
3. Install VLC (sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc)

Then you can use it from applications menu (multimedia category) or directly from command line (just type vlc)
