But this would be OK: 'It's ages since I watched a movie.
1b:I haven't watched a movie for ages'
2a:I am fine
so far/up to now and I will get work tomorrow.
2b:I am fine till date and I will be alloted work tomorrow.
I don't mind if you refine them.

In 2b, the phrase you want is 'to date', but 'to date' wouldn't do in this context. The T doubles in the past simple of 'allot', and 'allot' sounds a bit odd there anyway - unless the person is in a position of very high authority (e.g. your boss's boss).
