There could be several reasons, but I would check the spark plugs because from what I have read your engine seems to be cranking, but not starting. To check to see if your spark plugs are working just buy a tester and unplug one spark plug and put it into the tester to see if it tester illuminates if not then you need new spark plugs.
Another thing you may want to make sure that your engine is getting ebough gasoline, because sometimes you may have a fuel filter issue or problem with your fuel injector. The way to check this is to smell your inside your throttle body or air cleansing housing and if you smell a strong gasoline smell then you are fine there.
Fuel pump can be an issue to like if you turn the key and if you hear an electric whirring noise for about 2 seconds then that is working, but if you do not hear anything then you have a faulty fuel pump.
You see there can be a number of things wrong, but if you do not want to check everything yourself then my option would be take it in. You can do process of elimination by making sure that you have gas in your car and that everything else is working.
